Black History is cybersecurity history Arlington Hall’s African American unit at the National Security Agency from Liza Mundy’s book “Code Girls” Hidden but Vital Figures As with the most of the American experience at the time the initial African American code breaks went from military to Army Security Agency (ASA) a precursor to the NSA, and then Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA), were segregated into their own units and offices. Since the earliest of cyphers, as long as there has been ciphertext there have been black and brown cryptographers. Whether they were special messages of faith, military movements, or pathway to freedom, African Americans have been a part of the history of coded messages, technology, and the practice of protecting the two. Unfortunately like the image above that is featured in this post, the stories and information behind it are lost to time. In the Author’s Note to her book “Code Girls”, Liza Mundy talks about the fact that the image is about all that is left. This had us think, what are we doing now to preserve the history and stories of black hackers and cybersecurity professionals? We decided to do our part and start collecting as much as we could, posting it here, and archiving it on archive.org for the future. Now that the CryptoHarlem site is relaunched look to this area for stories by, from, and about the African American’s contributing to the space of Cybersecurity. After all our research we are even more confident when we say, Black History is cybersecurity history. Assura, Inc. #blackhistorymonth #cybersecurityjourney

The Charles Follis Foundation in conjunction with Black History Month present this important ask of each of you February 3rd Charles Follis Day. The Theme for Charles Follis Day is the ‘POWER OF ONE.’ The ‘call to action or challenge’ on February 3rd for each individual person is to dedicate 24 hours performing ONLY acts of kindness. No disdain, anger nor negativity toward anyone, doing everything possible in your ‘POWER OF ONE’ for the entire 24-hour Charles Follis Day. This can be done in any manner of ways defined by your ‘POWER OF ONE.’ Incorporating this into the classrooms to deter different forms of bullying whether physical or cyber, would contribute to lowering the suicide rate in children. The benefit in corporate sectors with the importance around DEI; the ‘POWER OF ONE’ would surely enhance such programs.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. A thoughtful passage written by an Englishman about the current situation in HIS homeland, but equally relevant in any other (once) white country. I have been wondering about why whites are racists, and no other race is? There are British Africans, British Chinese, British Asian, British Turks, etc, etc, etc. And then there are just British. You know what I mean, plain ole English people that were born here. You can include the Welsh, the Scottish and the people who live off our shores of Great Britain. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you. So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the Muslim Council of Great Britain. You have Black History Month. You have swimming pools for Asian women. You have Islamic banks for Muslims only. You have year of the dragon day for Chinese people. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists. If we had White History Month, we'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists. A white woman could not be in the Miss Black Britain or Miss Asia, but any colour can be in the Miss UK. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists. There are over 200 openly proclaimed Muslim only schools in England. Yet if there were 'White schools only', that would be racist! In the Bradford riots and Toxteth riots, you believed that you were standing-up for your race and rights. If we stood-up for our race and rights, you would call us racists. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists. We fly our flag, we are racists. If we celebrate St George's day we are racists. You can fly your flag and it's called diversity. You celebrate your cultures and it's called multiculturalism. You rob us, carjack us, and rape our daughters. But, when a white police officer arrests a black gang member or beats up an Asian drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist. I am proud.... but you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists??

It's a real temptation to see our work as the primary or most important facet of our identity. But that leaves our identity grounded in places that don't give us true security. In this article, Work, Rest, and Play, Uli Chi offers us a renewed understanding of our relationship with work and the role rest plays in securing us in God.
